"Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" and "Nuttin for Christmas" top my list of nauseating Christmas songs.

Ugh..... I hate "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" too. Drives me up the wall. "Feliz Navidad" is on my crap list too. Of course Babs Streisand's "Jingle Bells" is there too, sounds like she's on speed or crack or something, it is like when you press all the keys on the typewriter at once and they all get stuck together. Let's see, songs I like a lot are the ones form the "Charlie Brown Christmas Special." A side note, everytime Linus reads from the Bible about the true meaning of Christmas in the auditorium, I get a tingle in my spine and a warm feeling in my heart. BTW, that reminds me, had to pull a 12 hour day yesterday but taped "Peanuts," I got to watch it. B-)

TiVO'd it last night. I has been a must-see-at-all-costs since I was about 8 years old.

I agree about Linus' speech. It blows me away every time.

I'm MAD!! I kept hearing about the Charlie Brown special, so told the kids we'd watch. Never even checked the listings. Just assumed it would be on. At 7 I turned on the tv and on the channel it was supposed to be on was some local foo-foo talk show's holiday guide special instead.

Yep, me too. I did not know until recently that the television network execs back when that special first aired really objected to the "highly religious content" of the program.

I would've thought that it pre-dated such nonsense, but apparently not. I'm a bit surprised that nobody has tried to stick an advertising break in that particular spot.

Good thing you taped it. It is only a matter of time before that scene gets cut from the original.

I agree 1000%! It doesnt feel like the Christmas season until I have seen it. I have been playing the soundtrack all the time since I (finally) got it. Guaraldi had a knack for capturing a mood.

Didn't know anyone else felt that way. That stunned me when I was but a lad, 30 + years ago.
